By CARSIFU | 17 August 2022


GOTHENBURG: Polestar has confirmed plans to put the Polestar electric roadster concept into production.

The production car is expected to launch in 2026 as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster. Interested customers in all active Polestar markets are able to reserve a build slot online from Aug 16 this year.

Revealed in Los Angeles in March as the Polestar O2, the electric roadster concept builds on the design, technology and sustainability ambitions laid out by the Polestar Precept and showcases the brand’s vision for future sports cars.

The hard-top convertible will be built on Polestar’s bespoke bonded aluminium platform.

Developed in-house, it will feature the high-performance, 800-volt electric architecture already confirmed for Polestar 5. This includes output of up to 650 kW (884hp) and 900Nm from a dual motor powertrain, a targeted 0-100kph sprint time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 250kph.

To celebrate the launch, 500 numbered units of a special "LA Concept" version, the "Polestar 6 LA Concept edition", are planned to be produced.

They will exclusively feature the unique "Sky" blue exterior, light leather interior and unique 21-inch wheels of the original Polestar O2 concept.

“With the overwhelming consumer and press response, we took the decision to put this stunning roadster into production and I am so excited to make it a reality,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.

“Polestar 6 is a perfect combination of powerful electric performance and the thrill of fresh air with the top down.”

The production confirmation headlines the brand’s attendance with the electric roadster concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and "The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering" events during Monterey Car Week in California on Aug 18-21.
